Hardy Garden Lilies (New Crop) 
FOR FALL PLANTING 
All Lilies do not like the same conditions. The one universal requirement for 
all is absolutely perfect drainage. The loose, scaly bulbs which Lilies produce are 
susceptible to rot in wet soil, and it will pay to go to some pains to be sure that 
the ground for them is properly drained. When Lilies are well established in the 
garden, it is well to feed them with a top-dressing of manure after the tops have died 
down in the autumn. It is better to omit manure from the Lily-bed before planting. 
Sent prepaid to any address east of the Mississippi for cash with order
